Salient points for those who don’t want to read the article, or can’t:
-
The team administered a single shot of E. americana intravenously to mice with colorectal cancer, and it completely eliminated tumors in every treated animal.
-
Caused only short-lived inflammatory effects that resolved within 72 hours
-
Over two months of observation, treated mice showed no signs of organ damage or chronic toxicity.
-
The bacterium are also sensitive to antibiotics, providing intervention options if problems were to arise following treatment.
-
When the mice were later re-exposed to cancer cells, none developed new tumors, suggesting the treatment had triggered long-lasting immune memory.
This holds some real promise, I’m very excited to see what this brings! Kudos to the researchers!
Mfw bacteria become resistant: 😱😱😱
Still probably better than cancer, no ?
-
Just a minute at 2000°C also eliminated all cancer cells in mice.
I bet I can do the same in under 10 s.
How do you administer handgun for colon cancer? 😳
You shouldn’t. The side effects turn out to usually be more harmful than the cancer.
